Biden day 4

Senator Joe Biden has a lot of great plans for the country and he has also helped to create a lot of progressive bills that we should be proud of. Biden even has a plan for making a more positive situation in Darfur. I'm not sure many of the candidates are this thoughtful.

Please check out the Senator's website to see his efforts at a whole. But also read over these points that he makes for ensuring peace in the Sudan from his site.

• Immediately send to Darfur the U.N. “Heavy Support Mission” (Phase 2) – 3000 police and soldiers to bolster the African Union and prepare the way for the full U.N. peacekeeping mission (Phase 3). Press other countries to immediately provide the needed helicopter and ground vehicles. If they won’t, the U.S. must
• Set a deadline for Khartoum to accept the full U.N. peacekeeping force (Phase 3) – 23,000 peacekeepers – and secure commitments from other countries to take part.
• If Khartoum rejects the full force, impose and enforce additional sanctions, impose and enforce a No Fly Zone over Sudan and commit U.S. forces to help the African Union protect civilians and ensure access for humanitarian groups.
• Put all parties on notice – including Khartoum, the militia and rebel groups – that they will be held accountable for failing to ensure the access and safety of humanitarian workers.
• Launch a sustained, coordinated diplomatic offensive with the U.N., the A.U. and leading countries to bring the rebel groups together and negotiate a political settlement between them and Khartoum
